BENJAMIN F. K. JENNINGS, OF SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO JOHN FOOS, OF SAME PLACE.

BEVERAGE SHAKING AND MIXING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 391,150, dated OCtObel 16, 1888.

(No modem To all whom, it may concern:

Beit known that I, BENJAMIN F. K. JEN- MNGs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Springiield, in the county of Clark and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Beverage Shaking and Mixing Machines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in niilleshakes, and it also relates in its nature to improvements on the device set forth in my application, Serial No. 269,303, for patent filed April 2, 1888.

My invention consists in a novel coustruction of the shaking-frame and means for securing the glasses or other receptacles therein.

My invention further consists in the constructions and combinations ot' parts hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a front perspective view of a machine embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the same. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the tumbler supporting and Fig. 4 is an enlarged detached view illustrating details of the shaking-frame, certain parts being shown in section. Fig. 5 is an enlarged detached view of a single supporting-stand.

In the said drawings, A represents the outer casing of my improved machine. B is the shaking-frame, on which the tumblers or other receptacles are supported during the operation of shaking.

The shakingframe B consists of the lower T-shaped supporting part, C, and the upper adjustable part, C. The T-shaped supporting part O is provided with a downwardly and outwardly projecting arm, b, which carries at its outer extremity a cross-bar, b, on which is located the receptacle stands b, any suitable number of which may be used. At the outer extremities of the T-shaped support C are longitudinal rods or guides d, .which slide in bearings d on the main frame or casing A. These rods or guides d extend through bearing-supports d2 on the T-shaped support C, in which they are secured, and are projected upwardly to form ways or guides di* for the upper part, C', of the frame B. This upper part, C', consist-s of a longitudinal bar, c, having upwardly and outwardly extending arms e', adapted to support the upper part or cover, e", of the re ceptacle-holding device. These covers el are secured in the arms c in such a manner that they may be readily removed therefrom when desired, as set forth in my prior application above referred to. The upper part, C', is provided with bearings e, adapted to slide over the guides or ways d, and with a central bearing, e5, in which is located a screw-threaded shaft-, adapted to screw into the lower T- shaped part, O. The screw-threaded shaft j' extends through the bearing c, and is provided at the top with a crank,f, which -is secured thereon in such a manner that the shaft f is free to turn in the bearing c5 and is held against longitudinal movement in the same.

It will be seen that by this construction the glasses or other receptacles placed upon the stands dZ may readily be secured therein by turning the crankf until the upper part, C', of the vibrating frame is moved down, so that the covers c2 rest firmly on the tops of the glasses or other receptacles.

The guidingrods-d, as will be understood, slide in the bearings d on the main frame A. The motion is imparted to thc vibrating frame B from a hand-wheel, D, secured on the end ot' the shaft D', on which is located a spurwheel, D2, meshing with a spur-pinion, D3. The spur-pinion D3 is provided with a crankpin, h, to which is connected a pitman, h, pivoted at its other end to a vibrating arm, E. The end of the pitman E projects through the outer casing and is connected by the pitmauconnection i to the frame B.

The hand-wheel is located on the outside of the casing A. The spur-gear, its pinion, and the vibrating arm E are located within the casing, and are thus completely inclosed. By the above construction a simple and effective mechanism is provided, whereby the tumblers or other receptacles for containing the ingredients to be shaken up, may be readily secured in place inthe machine or removed therefrom, while all the parts of the machine are adapted to act in a simple and effective manner.

Having thus described my invention, I claim- 1. In a beverage shaking and mixing machine, the combination, with the reciprocating frame, substantially as described, consisting of a lower T-shapcd supportingpiece having the receptacle-stands thereon and the upper adjustable cover-holding part having bearings adapted to slide on guides or ways on said lower part, ofascrew-threaded shaftjournaled in said upper part and extending into a screwthreaded bearing in said lower part for bringing the receptacle-covers to or from the reeeptacle-stands, substantially as specified.

2. The combination, with `a T-Shaped receptacle-holding frame provided with the receptacle-stands and guide-rods, as described, of the upper coversupporting part journaled on said guide-rods and ascreW-threaded shaft connecting the said parts, and means, substantially as described, for revolving said shaft to bring the parts together or separate the same, substantially as specied.

3. The combination, with a vibrating arm, E, and its operating mechanism, as described,

of means for connecting it with the reciprocating frame, which frame consists of a T- shaped receptacle-holding portion having the guide-rods adapted to slide in bearings on the main frame, the receptacle-stands supported on said T-shaped supporting-piece, the receptacle-cover-supporting part provided with bearings adapted to slide on guide-rods, a screw-threaded shaftjournaled in said coversupporting part and extending into a screwthreaded bearing in the T-shaped support-7 and a crank on said shaft for operating the same', substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 10th day of May, A. D. 1888.

BENJAMIN F. K. J ENNINGS.
